Impact of Global Preferences on a Custom Transaction Type
This topic describes how global accounting preferences interact with custom classification fields in custom transaction types. For an introduction to classification fields, see Custom Transaction Type Classification Fields.
The choices that you make on the custom transaction type for class, department, and location override your global accounting preferences. These preferences are set at Setup > Accounting > Accounting Preferences. However, if your transaction type’s Mandatory setting is less restrictive than your global accounting preferences, the system displays a warning. In this case, you can dismiss the warning and save the less-restrictive setting.
